Tesla Model 3 Performance “Ludicrous” Details Leaked on Company Website
Tesla enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the release of the Model 3 Performance “Ludicrous” variant may not have to wait much longer. The company inadvertently leaked numerous details about the upcoming model on its own website, hidden within the site’s source code. The leak, reportedly discovered by members of the Tesla Motors Club forum, provides a glimpse into the specs and features of this highly anticipated performance-oriented electric vehicle.
Leaked Features Reveal Enhanced Performance and Design
The leaked feature list, found in the source code of the UK version of Tesla’s site, highlights several exclusive enhancements for the Model 3 Performance:
- Redesigned front and rear fascias, rear diffuser, and carbon fiber spoiler for optimized high-speed stability
- All-new adaptive suspension with in-house software for improved body control and comfort
- Latest generation driving mode integrating adaptive suspension controls with a performance-optimized powertrain
- Track Mode V3 with customizable handling balance, stability controls, and regenerative braking
- Ventilated seats with enhanced side and cushion bolsters for improved support

- Enhanced pedal feel and improved heat management for consistent braking across a wider temperature range

Impressive Power and Acceleration
While the exact specifications remain undisclosed, the source code hints at the Model 3 Performance’s impressive capabilities:
All-new high-performance drive units deliver more than combined 500 horsepower and 0-60mph in {ACCELERATION} seconds. Welcome to the most powerful Model 3 ever.
Although the acceleration figure is not specified, it is clear that the Model 3 Performance will offer a significant boost in power and speed compared to its predecessors.
Naming Confusion: Performance or Ludicrous?
Despite earlier rumors suggesting the car would be named “Model 3 Ludicrous,” the leaked source code predominantly refers to the vehicle as the “Model 3 Performance.” This indicates that Tesla may have decided to stick with the “Performance” moniker, even after discontinuing the original Model 3 Performance following the launch of the updated “Highland” version in 2023.
Tesla Model 3 Performance Launch Imminent
The presence of these leaked details within Tesla’s own website strongly suggests that the launch of the Model 3 Performance (or Ludicrous) is imminent. As the company prepares to unveil this highly anticipated vehicle, Tesla enthusiasts and the automotive world alike eagerly await official confirmation of the specs, features, and release date of what promises to be the most powerful Model 3 to date.
